Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

On making a new column, Calculated Column comes with the note The Calculated behavior will eventually be discontinued. We recommend using the Formula data type for calculations instead.

And Formula Column comes with the note Formula Columns are in preview for your feedback , this feature may change before final release and should not be used in production.

Then which type should we use for new columns

Hi @Rutu01

It's an interesting question but the answer is a little simpler.

It depends on the type of data you use, if they are currency columns you should still use the calculated ones since the Power Fx formula columns do not support it yet.

In this sense, the process of deprecating these calculated columns can take a long time, I suggest that you start using Power Fx formula columns in cases where you can use it. I understand that the Power Fx formula columns have already passed the experimental period and are in preview, but consider that Power Fx is already the supported language for Power Apps, so it will be available soon

Here is the article where it tells you which data types not to use
